so on romney, what would you expect? bill has told us all of about is relationship with the massachusetts legislature, so what should we expect from a mid-romney administration in terms with congress? and then with obama, in the second term, would he do things differently or what would you suggest that he do in terms of congressional relations? >> my sense with president obama is he would learn or at least be instructed by those around him to learn the mistakes of his first term, as it relates to keeping with congress, which i think has been a disaster to hear from members of his own party on capitol hill, we want to do a deal come we want to strike out and get things done, we don't have any real engagement on the part of the president. and i think if you want to get bold initiatives through, you know as was the case with health care, you just don't and something over to the legislature and say, take it. you frame it. you find 80% of it and turned over to the legislature and to get it done. there's got to be some wiggle
